IMPROVEMENT INVFISHIING-RQD REELS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 177,544, dated May 16, 1876; application tiled April 4, 1876. i

To all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES L. NOE, of Bergen Point, Hudson county, New Jersey, have invented a new and Improved Fishing- Rech, ofvwhich the following is a specification: i My invention consists of a brake for stopping t-he overrun of the line after the'lead has fallen into the water, composed of a plate fixed on a joint, so as to be borne on the spool by a spring, and having a thumb-1ever, Vby which to hold it oii' until the moment the lead strikes.

Figure lis a sectional elevation of my improved iishing-reel, taken on the line new, Fig. 2, and Fig. 2 is a plan view.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

A represents the cheeks or heads of the reel; B, theshaft, and C the brake-lever, said lever being a plate bearing ou the spool between having a lever-extension, E, against which the spring F bears, to keep the brake pressed on the line; also for holding it ofi' while the lead is in its flight. l

This construction is simpler, and can be opV erated quicker and easier, than the ordinary e supported on spring F, as shown and described,

forthe pur-pose specified.
